FERENTIAL & DRIVELINE/PROPELLER SHAFT/
PROPELLER SHAFT - INSTALLATION).
(7) Remove plugs or tape from the open intermedi-
ate and rear refrigerant line fittings.
(8) Lubricate new rubber o-ring seals with clean
refrigerant oil and install the seals onto the interme-
diate-to-rear refrigerant line fittings.
(9) Connect the fittings that secure the intermedi-
ate refrigerant lines to the rear refrigerant lines.
Tighten the liquid line fitting to 16 N·m (142 in. lbs.).
